In Wuqi Cave Heaven, Gao Xian held the Qinghua Wheel in his hand and used his spiritual consciousness to establish a close connection with the central restriction of this divine artifact.
For thirty years, he followed Bai Yujing to refine the Taixu Huanmeng Daoyi all day long, and had no energy to deal with other things. It was also because of the thirty years of experience in refining artifacts that he truly understood the operation of spiritual energy and mana from the level of rune prohibition.
The central rune restriction of a magic weapon is like a mobile phone chip. The more complex and advanced the central rune restriction is, the stronger the performance will be and the higher the consumption will be.
Therefore, high-level artifacts are very difficult to control.
Similarly, the essence of magic is the same. Through the divine consciousness, the so-called magic talisman is a microchip composed of rune prohibitions, forming a stable magic framework, which is transformed into magic through spiritual energy and finally released.
Including body cultivators and sword cultivators, they essentially all use runes to gather spiritual energy and transform it into magic power, but the paths and methods of transformation are different.
Runes are the deepest programming language in this world. Different combinations of runes can form different mana programs. When these rune programs are gathered on a magic weapon, it can become the center of the magic weapon.
With a preliminary understanding of the most basic rules of heaven and earth, Gao Xian gained a new understanding of magic, swordsmanship, and cultivation.
Gao Xian has also been able to fully comprehend the four fundamental secret methods, namely the Great Five Elements Divine Light, the Wuji Yin-Yang Sword Sutra, the Blood River Heavenly Venerable Huayuan Book, and the Daluo Huashenjing, to the level of knowing both the whys and the whys.
In the past, Gao Xian could only practice according to the routine, but now he has a truly unique understanding of the secret method. He knows which parts of the secret method are fundamental, which are minor details, which can be adjusted, and which can be ignored.
At this point, he can practice according to his own situation, which greatly improves his practice efficiency.
Over the past thirty years, he has made great progress in swordsmanship. As for the Wood Element Divine Light, although he has not practiced it deliberately, he has also made some progress.
Combined with the previous points added, Gao Xian only needs to invest 120 billion human spiritual light this time, which is enough to upgrade the Wood Element Divine Light to the Grandmaster's perfect realm.
The five elements' essences in the Wuqi Cave are pure and rich, and are in harmony with the great five elements' divine light.
In the blink of an eye, the Wood Element Divine Light rose to the perfect state. Countless essences of the Wood Element Divine Light also emerged in Gao Xian's sea of consciousness.
Gao Xian already has a fundamental understanding of the changes in magic power. He can look down at these essences from a high vantage point and easily grasp all the essences.
In just one day, Gao Xian had completed his understanding and control of the Wood Element Divine Light. Using the Wood Element Divine Light to refine the Qinghua Wheel was a piece of cake.
Within a few days, the Qinghua Wheel was integrated into the liver.
The Qinghua Wheel, Wuliang Wheel, Jiuyang Wheel and Changsheng Wheel are fused and connected, leaving only the Qiankun Wheel to form the Hunyuan Tian Wheel.
The integration of the Qinghua Wheel enhanced the power of all wood-based spells and greatly increased the recovery speed of his spiritual consciousness and mana. The vitality of his body was greatly enhanced.
Even if they were severely injured, they could quickly recover through spells such as Qingmu Changchunshu. With enough mana, it would be easier to control sixth-level artifacts such as Pojun Shenlu and Taixu Huanmeng Daoyi.
Gao Xian stayed in Wuqi Cave Heaven for a few days. Only after he mastered the Qinghua Wheel and the Wood Element Divine Light did he leave Wuqi Cave Heaven and go to the East China Sea.
He first used the teleportation talisman to arrive at Dragon Scale Island, and Gao Xian transformed into the appearance of Taixuan God, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, a stern expression, and wearing a loose black robe, displaying the magical aura of the Jindan level.
A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage can get along well anywhere, and it is basically impossible for him to wander around in the East China Sea. After all, this is the territory of the demon race.
Only those independent cultivators who have nowhere to go will struggle to survive in the East China Sea. For independent cultivators, there is no difference between Jiuzhou and the East China Sea. The sects that control various places are well organized and are actually more terrifying than the demon race.
Gao Xian had been on Dragon Scale Island for a while and was familiar with the situation there. He knew that there were often small groups of independent cultivators who would go to the depths of the East China Sea to collect various spiritual objects, catch spiritual fish, and so on.
These small groups are actually very unstable. If they are lucky enough to catch something good, the group will easily quarrel among themselves. However, there are many independent cultivators in the East China Sea, and Longlin Island is a relatively important trading market. It is not difficult to find a small group to go out to sea here.
Of course, this is not difficult but it will take a few months.
The East China Sea is too vast, and Gao Xian's current level of cultivation means he can fly alone without any problems, and the speed will be even faster. But he is afraid of running into the Pure Yang Demon Lord.
The Taixu Huanmeng Daoyi could only block the Pure Yang Demon Lord's perception of him. According to Bai Yujing, this perception belonged to the perception of the soul. Although he had a clone, he only had one soul. He could not hide from the Pure Yang Demon Lord with his clone.
He was flying alone over the vast East China Sea, which was really eye-catching.
No matter who he met, he would inevitably be interested in him. This sea area was under the jurisdiction of Longlin, and Gao Xian didn't want to be so high-profile.
Following a group of independent cultivators through the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Scale Society is the simplest and safest way.
There were still more than a hundred years until the Heavenly Alliance Conference, so he still had plenty of time and did not need to rush.
In order to conceal his identity, Gao Xian took out his old alchemy furnace and resumed his old business, refining some Longevity Pills, Dingyuan Pills, and Yuqing Pills.
Since arriving at Qingyun Sect, Gao Xian has never refined pills himself. Refining pills is really very energy-consuming and time-consuming.
For cultivators who really have a promising future in cultivation, almost no one would make alchemy their main occupation. He could collect a large amount of human spiritual light through novels, so he no longer wanted to make alchemy.
The secret method he was practicing now required hundreds of billions or even trillions of human spiritual light. If he had obtained human spiritual light through alchemy, he would have died of exhaustion long ago...
Taking out the alchemy furnace again, Gao Xian was able to refine some third-level elixirs with ease. It was because his spiritual awareness was too strong, he was proficient in various alchemy techniques, and he also understood some of the basic rules of this world.
This time, the pill is refined from top to bottom, and it is very easy to refine a third-level nine-turn pill.
The Elixir of Immortality is useful to everyone, the Dingyuan Pill is also a necessity for most human practitioners, and the Yuqing Pill is used to cleanse dirty and evil spirits, and is also very important to practitioners.
When the elixir reaches the ninth level, the level is completely different.
With his alchemy skills, Gao Xian quickly gained a certain status on Dragon Scale Island and made some friends with many human casual cultivators.
After more than half a year, Gao Xian got in touch with a small organization called the Black Flag Gang, and the other party agreed to take him to Bailing Island.
Bailing Island is far away from Longlin Island and is a very important supply point deep into the East China Sea. There is also a special four-eyed white-scaled iron-bone fish around Bailing Island, which can grow to several feet long.
This demon fish is full of treasures and has very strong combat power, the strongest can even reach the third level. However, this demon fish has very low intelligence and can be easily captured using special tools and medicines.
In autumn, it is the mating and spawning season for the four-eyed white-scaled ironbone fish. Even those large monster fish that have lived for hundreds of years will run to the surface of the sea. This is the easiest season to catch them.
The Black Flag Gang actually only had twelve people, and the leader was Zhong Hongyun, a Jindan Zhenren. He was a cultivator born and raised in the East China Sea, and in his early years he went to Jiuzhou to find a place to stand, but because he had no roots and support, he almost died in Jiuzhou.
After returning to the East Sea, he spent his days wandering around with a few casual cultivators. Although he was wandering around, he was free.
"Lao Hong, I see that you are very good at alchemy, so why did you risk going to the depths of the East China Sea..."
Flying over the sea was boring, so Zhong Hongyun would pull Gao Xian to the bow to chat. She was quite beautiful, but her skin was a wheat color due to being exposed to the sun all day. She was also proficient in body training and had a slender and strong figure.
Her red robe was wide open, revealing a large area of smooth skin and a bra underneath. She sat cross-legged, holding a wine gourd in her hand, with crystal wine stains on the corners of her mouth, which made her look even more bold.
Gao Xian stood aside, his eyes swept over Zhong Hongyun's chest but did not linger. Zhong Hongyun was a very interesting human cultivator, who might have grown up in the East China Sea, and had a natural heroic character.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that this woman has no scheming.
He also developed some interest in Zhong Hongyun, so he boarded this black flag flying ship.
The Black Flag Flying Ship is 13 meters long, 40 meters high, and has three floors. There are wide decks in front and back to facilitate fishing. Strictly speaking, this is actually a fishing ship.
Normally, you can glide on the sea surface to save spirit stones to the maximum extent.
Zhong Hongyun and Gao Xian had known each other for a while, and she knew that this taciturn person was even more interested in this Jindan Zhenren named Honglian.
"Lao Hong, did you run to the East China Sea to avoid your enemies?"
Zhong Hongyun smiled and said, as if he understood Gao Xian's difficulties: "The East China Sea is vast and endless. Although there are many human cultivators, they have nothing to do with Jiuzhou. You don't have to worry about any enemies.
She paused and continued, "Look at our Black Flag Gang. If you want to come over, we'll let you be the second in command. If you're really capable, we can let you be the boss!"
As the woman spoke, she glanced at Gao Xian. There was a hint of ambiguity in her large, bright eyes, and the meaning was obvious.
As long as she can be slept with, she can let Gao Xian be the boss.
Gao Xian shook his head slightly. He was interested in Zhong Hongyun but not in the relationship between men and women. This woman had a very good temper and was quite interesting.
He has a good appearance, a slender and plump figure, a very good and comfortable body shape. But he has too many girlfriends, and his taste is becoming more and more picky.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The difference in cultivation between the two sides is too great, so there is no fun in mixing with them.
Zhong Hongyun said so much, but Gao Xian's reaction was so cold that she felt a little bored despite her enthusiasm. She snorted immediately: "You are such a boring man!"
She was too lazy to say more to Gao Xian. She raised the wine gourd and took a few big gulps. Then she burped contentedly and exhaled the strong smell of alcohol.
There were a few people watching furtively behind the deck, and they couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene. They were all very disappointed that the boss failed to hook up with Honglian.
Honglian is not only a Jindan Zhenren, but also an alchemist. If he can join the Black Flag Gang, there will be too many benefits. First of all, buying elixirs will be much cheaper. With more Jindan Zhenren, the gang's combat power will double.
Zhong Feiyu couldn't help but mutter, "This guy is a bit ungrateful!"
She thought her leader was as beautiful as a fairy, had a hot body, and a generous personality. Honglian was really blind to look down on her leader! Before Zhong Feiyu finished speaking, she heard the cultivator on the cloud sail shouting, "There is a team of black eagles ahead, the situation is not good..."
The Dragon Scale Society has a Black Hawk patrol team that is responsible for patrolling various sea areas. The Black Hawk patrol team is notorious, and human monks will be killed if they encounter them.
Even if you are a demon, you will not have a good time if you encounter this patrol team.
Fortunately, the East China Sea is too vast. The Black Flag Gang has been sailing in the East China Sea for decades, and this is the first time they have encountered the Black Hawk Patrol.
Zhong Hongyun, who was drinking, also put away her wine gourd. She squinted her eyes and used her secret technique to look ahead from afar.
Sure enough, a team of black flying eagles were seen lined up in a row, swooping down on them from a hundred miles away. There were many tall monsters riding on the black eagles, and the guy in the lead had a bald, pointed head and a round tortoise shell on his back, which looked a bit funny. He was a tortoise monster.
The turtle tribe's heads are funny, but they are born with armor, thick skin and strong magic power. Judging from the other party's appearance, he should be a golden elixir, and there is another golden elixir turtle tribe with him.
The rest were a group of foundation-building demons, numbering more than thirty.
Zhong Hongyun's face looked a little ugly. It would be difficult to get rid of the opponent with the Black Flag Flying Ship after they collided head-on at such a close distance.
However, you can't just wait to die.
Zhong Hongyun shouted loudly: "Raise all the sails and run back."
"You can't run away."
Gao Xian said calmly: "Why not give it a try."
"It's easy for you to say that. There are more than 30 of them..." Zhong Hongyun was not a child. She would not be easily instigated. She was about to yell at others, but she saw Gao Xian taking out a blood-red banner and flying towards the Black Hawk Patrol Team.
"Ah? Don't be impulsive!"
Zhong Hongyun was a little confused. This Honglian looked cold and solemn, but why did he just rush forward and fight head-on when encountering problems? Where was his brain?
The blood-colored banner drew a long blood-colored rainbow in the sky, and directly collided with a group of demons from the Black Hawk patrol team. The blood-colored rainbow light exploded and turned into a thick blood mist that covered most of the sky.
On the black flag flying ship, although Zhong Hongyun had the cultivation level of a Golden Core, he could not see through the red mist. He could only see rays of spiritual light shining in it.
The powerful fluctuations of the golden elixir's magic power stirred up the clouds in the sky and dispersed them everywhere.
"What should we do?" a subordinate came over and asked.
Zhong Feiyu rolled his eyes and said, "Let's take this opportunity to run. He's blocking us..."
The other cultivators all nodded. They had no friendship with Honglian. Even if they did, they would not risk their lives. Taking the opportunity to escape was definitely the best choice.
Zhong Hongyun was a little hesitant. It was not because she didn't want to run away out of moral reasons, but because she felt that this was an opportunity to annihilate the Black Hawk Patrol Team.
Killing these guys not only solves the future troubles, but also makes friends with Honglian and obtains huge profits from these guys. It can be said that three birds with one stone are achieved.
But doing so is too dangerous, and even though she is brave, she still has to think seriously about it.
Seeing the fight getting more intense, Honglian showed no signs of defeat. Zhong Hongyun gritted his teeth and said, "You go first, I'll go to support Honglian!"
Zhong Hongyun rode the Red Cloud Banner into the sky and headed straight for the battlefield. She shouted from afar, "Lao Hong, I'm here to help you!"
When Zhong Hongyun rushed into the red fog that was as thick as water, he saw Honglian rolled up the long banner in his hand and had already put a demon into the banner and turned it into a ball of essence and blood.
Looking around again, he could no longer sense any trace of demonic presence.
Zhong Hongyun was stunned: "Kill them all?"
Gao Xian nodded. If he hadn't been disguising himself, he would have wiped out all the monsters with just one look. But he was just putting on a show, and killing too easily might attract experts.
Back at the Black Flag Flying Ship, the group of human cultivators looked at Gao Xian with a little more awe.
The carefree Zhong Hongyun also seemed a little restrained in front of Gao Xian. It was not that they were timid, but Gao Xian's method of killing the demons of the Black Hawk Patrol Team was very powerful, and he was obviously a master of the Demon Sect!
At night, Gao Xian was resting in the cabin when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Before he could say anything, the other party had already pushed the door open and came in. It was Zhong Hongyun, who was wearing a light gauze skirt that fully revealed her beautiful figure.
Zhong Hongyun held a tray with wine and food in her hand. She gently placed the tray on the coffee table, knelt down under Gao Xian's bed and smiled charmingly: "The night is long, I specially came to invite fellow Taoists to drink together..." (End of this chapter)
